Thank you for this interesting consult

Griffin and Dylon are back from their hiatus and in new roles as rheumatologist and pulmonary-critical care doctors-in-training. Maybe the additional sleep they are getting in this stage of training is why the sound quality improved… We may never know without advanced diagnostic testing. Further reading: 1. Dylon and Bre's favorite restaurant in Boston 2. Mortality in septic joints – “In the literature, the reported mortality rate for SA ranges from 4 to 42% with values as high as 50% in polyarticular disease” 3. Rabbit study from 1939 on the passage of bacteria from the blood into the synovium “A. Within 24 hours following intravenous inoculation with rabbit virulent strains of pneumococcus Type III, most rabbits develop infections of one or both knees. The frequency of bilateral knee joint involvement increases as the duration of the disease is prolonged. B. The spinal fluid, aqueous humor, and bladder urine remain sterile at a time when the knee joints contain pneumococci. Subsequently, however, they may be invaded.” 4. Demonstration of knee joint aspiration and injection (what Griffin does in ultrasound procedure clinic) 5. Odesza could be the soundtrack of your Summer 6. Suits trailer 7. Keep an eye out for Bre Duffy on the podcast "Learning with Lowell"
